Since I sort of started the argument--for the record--yes I was joking when I made that post.

I feel as if this .gif is a perfect illustration of what I did.

I pulled a prank, caused trouble, and was never heard from again. Until now...

So, I apologize to Ultimatehero, and I agree that some people do tend to overspeculate and theorize based on very unsubstantiated information, but I think this speculation is what makes all of this fun!

However, I would like to formally end that argument (if it hasn't been already) so that we can get back to hyping ourselves up for this movie!

The second issue of the prelude comic shows where the term "Iron Legion" originated. I had assumed that it was just us fans coining a neat phrase.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Well, technically, Iron Legion originated from Iron Man #299, where the idea of an Iron Man army was first introduced. That's why some people were calling it Iron Legion when the news first leaked, before the comic came out.

And I appreciate your applause If only there were a bowing down emoticon.

But yeah. Iron Man. I figured they'd actually call it an Iron Legion in the movie, but I guess that deserves more of a namedrop. "Iron Legion Thwarts Terror Plot" in a news headline or something like that. Wouldn't be necessary, though.

I'm looking at that gif set of Ben Kingsley and RDJ play fighting and I just realized Ben Kingsley is in some great shape! Wow! That dude does not look like he's approaching 70 at all. I hope I look that good when I get that old.
